The 15 consonants distinguished by the ancient Sumerian writing system are transliterated by modern scholars as b, d, g, ĝ (like English 'ng' in "sing"), h (sometimes written with a crescent underneath, and thought to resemble German 'ch' in "Bach"), k, l, m, n, p, r, s, š (like English 'sh'), t, and z. We are not certain exactly how these sounds were pronounced, or whether, for example, the distinction between 't' and 'd' was one of voicing, as in English, or involved some other contrast such as aspiration (breathiness) or tenseness.
There is thought to have been a sound somewhere between d and r, variously transliterated as 'dr', 'dr', or 'ř', and perhaps variant 'l' and 'h' sounds, but these are not clearly represented by the writing system. It has also been suggested that the language may have contained a glottal stop (the initial sound of English "uh-oh!"), but this too do is not represented in the writing.
